Tightness in lower legs, especially early morning when I get up

[Guest guest]

I've been having tightness feeling in the lower legs, esp. calves during the

night and early morning.

Is this related to a metabolic issue? or abnormal? Its been more lately than

before.

It seems to get somewhat better as the day progresses, but happens again every

morning.

I also have some stiffness in the ankles and feet.
